Phoenix Park - 3rd Weekend

3 weeks already!

All the boys say it: this week went so fast!
The weekend came very soon and it was time to do another plan. Since the weather was very good during all the week - sunny days really lift you up here in Dublin - we decided to go to Phoenix Park and ride with bikes.

Phoenix Park is one of the biggest urban parks in Europe. It has a vast area and there are lots of things to do there. We went to mass as usual and then drove to the park, where we first had some time to have lunch and play football. After the meal, we took the bikes and started riding through the park.

The ride was shorter than planned, because one of the boys (Pepe Postigo) got accidentally injured and went back to the start to rest - a few of the group helped him. The others made it to the Papal Cross, a white cross built for Pope (Saint) John Paul II's visit in 1979. The boys had a lot of fun there.

The time was flying and we rode back to join the others and I gave everyone a prize - we all had a nice ice-cream!

Finally we drove back to Rockbrook and played some football, until everyone went back home with their irish families. Well, not all, since Pepe Postigo had to be taken to the hospital to get some stitches - 5!

The boys are getting on pretty well and I'm happy for them, because if they continue this way, they'll attain our objectives.

Goodbye!

PS: I almost forgot, here you have more photos of the week!
